With all respect to you ...weapons have protected our countries for a long time. We also have the right to protect ourselves and our loved ones with whatever means that are at our disposal...weapons included.It shoud newer have been legal to own a weapon in the first step..
Here there im living,the dont have all those crimes with weapons into the case.And why-
Because it,s not legal of course..if you say to the people-it,s okay to carring on weapons-you also can count on all others has it to--so can all people-or those who have money to it-building up a Fort Knox-and so the robbers go to the Older peoples and so..
Move to Denmark Of course.But without weapons.
And bad idea to keep dogs only for projection-it has to be for love to animals..
My opinion..i have my axe as my best friend-but will not use it-because-so i going for jail..Bad idea.
